Ubuntu – Restore shutdown button on taskbar? How do you restore desktop taskbar in Lubuntu

lubunturestoretaskbar

Isn't there a way to go back to a default setting for the desktop? An original configuration? How about restoring the shutdown/logoff button in the panel/taskbar?

Just installed Lubuntu (Ubuntu 13.10) and got to playing around with the settings. Unfortunately, I took some things out and moved things around that now that I look at it I really don't like.

How do I get back to square one, the way the desktop task bar looked like when I first installed it?

Example I lost the "start" like area in the left. the 3 icons to the right of that and now don't have he power button which was all the way to the right where the clock is. I don't really want to re-install OS all over again, because I do want to keep some customizations that I have done.

Best Answer

Copy the default config

sudo cp /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/Lubuntu/panels/panel ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels

Change owner:group to the local account from root. 

sudo chown owner:group  ~/.config/lxpanel/Lubuntu/panels/panel

now restart the panel

lxpanelctl restart
